A minesweeper-game a day keeps your logic alive -- well maybe only as long as you're a beginner; as at some point our brain being too smart, does not want to apply the same logic again and again, and starts looking for patterns to quickly clear the empty lands -- yes, memoization as in dynamic programming ;)
When I get a quick break, I like playing a minesweeper game. When my luck is bad on that run, minesweeper turns into a game of luck. It generates a pattern wherein there aren't enough cues. Usually people claim that minesweeper has hidden cues "all" the time; it is just that the user does not notice them. Seems not.
Here is the snapshot of such an ambiguous position I got recently:
There was only one mine left; two tiles to be cleared. Now, atleast I dont understand where shall the mine be. Both seem equally probable. Does anyone have a different opinion?
I managed to get unlucky that day and lost the game even after correctly marking 99 mines :(
Better luck next time with minesweeper!
i use tetris for this sake :-)
ReplyDeletehehe maybe I should move on to tetris too :)
